| Summary | "Sweden" by Victor Alfred Nilsson is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the rich and complex history of Sweden, covering its prehistoric times through to the early medieval period, including the Viking Age and the introduction of Christianity. Nilsson aims to unveil the development of the Swedish state, its culture, and its interactions with neighboring nations and tribes. The opening portion of the text sets the stage by providing a thorough introduction to the geographical, cultural, and historical context of Sweden. It highlights the significant prehistoric archaeological findings that reveal insights into the early inhabitants of the region, discussing their lifestyle, religious practices, and the societal structure that existed before documented history began. Nilsson emphasizes the continuity of the Swedish population over thousands of years, asserting that they belong to a long-standing, unmixed race. This section serves to establish a solid foundation for understanding the subsequent historical chapters that will follow, reflecting on how Sweden's past has shaped its identity and growth as a nation.
